Of cos it run fine la. If she doing light work, no problem at all.

That's a viable suggestion, but defeats the purpose of using the Mac platform. The reason why Macs are strong in publishing? Font technology (ligatures, etc), colour management, etc. No doubt Adobe CS (and CS 2) will run faster in the Windows environment, but the fact is that the Mac OS is still far superior where publishing is concerned.

So running BootCamp and Windows is not an option. The only reason I'd want to have Windows running on my future MBP is because of games. Running at native, optimised speeds is very compelling.

It IS an option for now, until Adode apps go universal.

yeah the reason for apple developing boot camp is for 'option' to use windows in apple computers it's a marketing stategy too i think, more windows user will switch to mac because they can use both os in the same computers

It's a smart, strategic move Apple. Just need the software sorted out. Platform migration is a big thing. Takes time. Even a monolith like Adobe needs time to optimise/rewrite code.

and we will see there will be many procsessor revision from apple/intel, for MBP there already 3 processor changed (1.67 -> 1.83 -> 2.0 -> 2.16) july the yonah 2.33 will be out and then in august there will be 64-bit merom!

if we look at PPC, the ibook g4 1.42, already 1 year.. slow but also will not make the notebook so fast obselete.. if in intel? our notebook will be obselete every 6 month

it'sa also a pain actually..

That's quite true vandetta. Apple has traditionally held its value very well. In general, even with the Intel chip, Apple hardware still holds its value better as compared to PC counterparts due to its strong brand and also design.

yah.. if we all want to catch the latest tech of course can never ever can catch it.. huh~ tech grow fast = money dissapear fast

Heh. Your pockets better be deep if you want to be the fastest, latest, biggest, greatest. It's worse than modding a car.

if u r thinking of buying now, don't. Wait and see what Jobs is going to announce during Apple WWDC 2006 in Aug. Its probably going to be something bigger and better

I used to try my fren's PowerBook G4 15.4" and it was hot... do you guys mean to say the MacBook Pro 15" is hotter than that??!

I'm planning to buy a laptop also, i need it to do web design jobs like photoshop, flash, dreamweaver, imageready... n i saw the news tat mac book pro can run windows xp too... i wonder how it gonna run on it.. forgive me for my foolish for not understand mac too well.. coz mac usin 1 button mouse right? if use windows... those right click function is gone or wad?? and the windows is run in OS X or like those bootable choices let users choose to run windows or OS X when the mac is turn on??

No, Mac uses multi-button mouse alright. Your right context menu will still be there, don't worry.

If you use Boot Camp, you can choose to boot into Mac or Windows when you boot and hold on alt key. If you use Parallels, switching to Windows and back is only a couple of shortcut keys away.
